Save it For Later - The Beat (The English Beat)

From 1983. One of my first introductions to British alt pop.  I always loved this song.  It actually got some play on pop radio in the US (or else I would have missed it until college).  These guys were one of the rulers of college radio in the 80s.  And a great example (although not so much in this song) of ska merging with rock.
The jangling guitar riff and the raspy vocal.  Perfect.
